UST JHS Student Council

Today is a special day for us Thomasians, as August 18th marks the feast day of Blessed Mannes de Guzman. Blessed Mannes was one of the earliest followers of his brother, St. Dominic de Guzman.

Blessed Mannes was recognized for his humility and self-sacrifice, dedicating his life to preaching the Gospel and seeking the salvation of souls. He joined the Dominican Order, where he became known as a passionate preacher, living virtuously with meekness, humility, and kindness.

As Thomasians let us continue to be inspired by him. Let us take time today to reflect to be the best version of ourselves.

Today, June 17, 2024, we celebrate Eid al-Adha.

Eid al-Adha originates from a passage wherein Ibrahim believed that he received a message from Allah, asking him to be obedient and sacrifice his son. There were temptations from the devil; however, as Ibrahim was about to sacrifice his son, Allah gave him a lamb to sacrifice instead.

This is a festival of sacrifice, given to commemorate devotion, and commitment. May all the Muslims have a time to pray, reflect, and be thankful.

Happy Eid al-Adha! 🎉

126 years ago, freedom was added unto our inheritance through the determination of our national heroes to bring back what is rightly ours. On June 12, 1898, the Philippines was officially gifted the independence that its countrymen fought for. Hence, today, we celebrate our country’s 126th Independence Day. 🇵🇭

Young Thomasians, let us never forget to honor our country’s great history and the sacrifices of our ancestors to make our independence possible today. Let us all continue to fight for our country, our fellow citizens and our liberty. 🫡
